Parties4Peace 15 Year Anniversary

Parties4Peace hosts a special evening at Contact Tokyo in celebration of their 15 Year Anniversary on Friday, Sept 8thfeaturing two of New York City's finest artists from the underground music scene. Since its inception in 2002, Parties 4 Peace has organized events in Tokyo, South America and more recently New York and Miami, inviting artists from around the world to create a culture of peace through music and dance. For this round of events in Japan, we will introduce the New York sound of producers Lauren Ritter from the ReSolute label and Justin Marchacos from Cityfox/Ebb+Flow, alongside Tokyo-based artists Stefano Lotti, Jay Zimmerman and Matsunami !

From the streets of Brooklyn, we have the infamous yet mysterious ReSolute New York, “an underground music event entity“ that has been steadily building up a global fan-base. With a well-known international roster already on board, ReSolute is a platform for fresh talents with extraordinary taste and passion for versatile, timeless sounds. We are excited to welcome the talented Lauren Ritter from ReSolute for her Tokyo debut ! Parties 4 Peace is also proud to introduce Justin Marchacos from the Ebb+Flow label in NYC and Zurich-based label Cityfox, with their well-known musical taste that is always danceable, psychadelic and includes fresh electronic rhythms somewhere between techno & house.

Parties 4 Peace is currently raising funds to produce its creative youth-focused educational initiative, the Music & Art Peace Academy (MAPA). MAPA aims to provide young artists, musicians and producers from around the world with experiences and resources that further enhance and develop their creative talents. In partnership with the international NGO Peace Boat–which travels the world by ship to promote peace education and sustainability–MAPA invites aspiring young creators to participate in global voyages onboard the ship to engage in workshops, lectures and hands on learning opportunities alongside professional artists.

* funds will be donated to Parties4Peace as support for the Peace Boat Disaster Relief non-profit organization and our partners in Ecuador.

Peace Boat has carried out emergency relief operations for the past 18 years, delivering emergency assistance and raising funds, as well as coordinating the dispatch of experienced logisticians, interpreters and volunteer teams to affected areas all over the world. Peace Boat works in consultation and partnership with local communities affected by natural disasters, responding to their situation and needs, enabling and empowering them as part of the recovery process.

In fall 2013, students at the Brooklyn Community Arts and Media (BCAM) High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant enrolled in an after-school program led by World Up called "WU School". For 5 months, students used hip-hop and technology to further explore meaningful issues within their communities. From writing their own lyrics to creating beats using Ableton Live, the students of WU School recorded original content to create "Truth Is...", an 8-track EP reflecting their lives today. As home to the second largest population of African Americans in the United States, Bedstuy continues to serve as an international epicenter for urban culture. It has certainly earned its place as a hot spot for emerging arts and culture in Brooklyn, and World Up has been fortunate to work with the young people that call Bedstuy home.

In collaboration with the Peace Boat, an International non-profit organization that travels the world by ship to promote peace and sustainability, World Up proposes to invite WU School students on a week-long international voyage to acquire a hands-on arts education with professional artists in the Music and Art Peace Academy (MAPA) project. As part of the MAPA project, aspiring young creators participate in a voyage on-board the Peace Boat to engage in workshops, lectures and hands on learning opportunities under the instruction of professional artists and educators.

The PATAGONICA Collective was founded by Parties4Peace in 2008 and organizes a yearly tour of Chile to raise awareness about the joint campaign to declare Patagonia a World Heritage site with the NGO's Peace Boat and CODEFF (National Committee to Protect the Flora and Fauna of Chile).
